Like a Ship by Martha de Carbonel Patterson

Martha de Carbonel Patterson (1963); Irish/French. “I did not realize that growing up in the Bay Area was the equivalent of growing up in Camelot til I was an adult….  I love citrus and spice, especially ginger, fresh berries, they are vibrant, varied and colorful… The Sleep comes to me in indigo color, sweet, smooth, velvety slide into warmth. Sleep is soothing, energizing, anticipatory, exiting, healthy, lovely, peaceful, comforting, and necessary.”

LULLABY “LIKE A SHIP”  by Cris Williamson and Shaina Noll

Like a ship in the harbor,

Like a mother and child,

Like a light in the darkness,

I'll hold you awhile.

We'll rock on the water.

I'll cradle you deep

And hold you while angels

Sing you to sleep.
